Aw, shucks. You have an amazing knack to turn any discussion into a
pissing contest. Ok, you win! You are better than anyone else at
spraying urine around.
Now, back to the point:
Why do we have to change at all? You seem to offer continual pressure
and impetus for the notion that guile is *deeply* wrong in its current
trajectory, but you don't seem to be either cooperating in development
or doing more than just arguing for the sake of arguing.
You want guile to be inconsistent with nearly every other Scheme
system out there (even MIT scheme now has #f != ()) for what? So that
it will be compatible with systas?
Is this whole stupid on-going flame fest of yours merely about some
desire to have the world adopt your favorite system instead of the one
they are already using? Instead of convincing them, why not just make
systas so much obviously better that people will use it?
